Recommendations: We do not encourage people to purchase a new set of freedive gear for this course as we will discuss proper freediving gear at length in class. Bring whatever you already have, whether it’s Scuba gear, freedive gear, snorkel gear, or backyard swimming pool gear. Though freedive specific gear will best suit the maximum depth allowance for this course, it is not necessary for successful completion.

Required Gear:

mask

fins

snorkel

wetsuit (3mm in NC, variable in other locations)

weight belt/weights

timing device (dive computer or cheapo watch with stopwatch)

We also recommend you bring a bathing suit, towel and writing utensil for the lectures.

Please note that boat charter fees associated with our courses are not included in the course tuition. Fees usually run between $30 and $90 per person depending on location.
